Susan Rice, national security adviser to President Barack Obama, tweeted she would consider challenging Collins in 2020, saying she was deeply disappointed in Collins' vote. There would be no way to make it acceptable.

Today's vote comes after Kavanaugh faced accusations of sexual misconduct from Ramirez and other women.

Murkowski and Manchin were two of the final holdouts on how they would vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation, along with Republican Sens. "Maybe I ought to say thank you".

Further complicating matters for the Republican leadership, Senator Steve Daines was set to be at his daughter's wedding on Saturday and has said he will not miss the ceremony.

"I never thought Judge Kavanaugh would withdraw", the Kentucky senior senator said. He firmly defended Kavanaugh and on Thursday at a rally in Franken's home state, as reported by the New York Times, he mocked the former senator for resigning amid his allegations.
